| 1. While you are cutting vegetables, bring a pot of water to boil. Add the beef shank to the boiling water and simmer for about 10 minutes to remove any impurities. | 2. Remove beef shank from the boiling water and cut into desired size. | 3. In a stock pot (if you don't have a rice/slow cooker to use) or a wok (if you plan to transition to a rice/slow cooker), heat up the oil on medium-high heat. | 4. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté until the garlic is fragrant. | 5. Add the sliced onions to the pan and sauté until the onions are transparent. | 6. Add the black bean sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and rice wine and stir fry over medium heat for 1 minute. You can add the tomato at this point (optional). | 7. Add the beef back into the pot with the stir-fried ingredients. | 8. If you plan to use the stock pot, add the star anise, green onions, and ginger (ideally in a spice sachet so you can remove easily later) and ~10 cups of water to the pot, bring to a boil and simmer on low heat for at least an hour. | 9. If you are using a rice or slow cooker, transfer the contents to the rice/slow cooker container and add the star anise, green onions, and ginger (ideally in a spice sachet so you can remove easily later) and ~10 cups of water to the container. Cook on low heat for at least an hour. | 10. After broth is complete, let cool and store, or eat with noodles immediately. You can add additional water to taste. Tip: Cook noodles in a separate pot of water, then combine with the broth for best results. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
